Nine-year-old Khloe has always been an inquisitive child, and an outgoing one, who would walk up to total strangers and start a conversation. "She's very personable," her mom said. "She was always friendly to everybody ... It used to scare me to death," she said with a laugh.

"How can I help the homeless people?" Khloe wanted to know. So mom and daughter put their heads together.

So they would need soap and washcloths and things like that, her mother suggested. Khloe especially wanted to help women. The list grew to deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand sanitizer, lotion and feminine hygiene products. Then they needed something to put the items in.

"My grandmother is a seamstress," Alisha said. "She's always had scraps of material lying around. She was already teaching Khloe how to sew."

Thus, the pair began sewing cloth bags - quite nice ones, by the way - in which they deposited the personal care essentials. For a time, Alisha bought the items herself. Then she and her husband posted to social media about Khloe's care packages for the homeless.

"People started coming to my work and dropping off bags of stuff," Alisha said. "We have huge boxes of stuff donated to our door," she said.
